Capgemini

via the Daily Mail I’ve previously written about collecting jobs-to-be-done from customers. Because I was analyzing a broad topic across the entire innovation lifecycle, it was a good way to get a breadth of insight. However, it doesn’t work as well in the more common situation for product managers and innovators: analyzing a specific flow. […]

Mid June will see me winging my way to New York City to attend Forecast 2012, a one day event arranged by the Open Data Center Alliance (ODCA). Forecast is touted as an opportunity to share knowledge and expertise through presentations, technical workgroups and the all important networking opportunities. I’ll be joined at Forecast by […]

Yesterday I published my financial analysis of 4 traditional system integrators: Accenture, Atos Origin, Capgemini and Logica. In a conversation I got asked why IBM wasn’t on the list, and my answer was somewhere along the line of “it’s not a pure player”.

Let me use a few metaphors and make this an easy one to understand. I’ll follow the model above.
My client sells candy. Red, green and blue.

To cope with the change, the company plans to recruit up to 1,000 staff this year, predominantly […]

First post in a series of 5-10, I will release all my views and opinions on the Art of Integration. I challenge you to disagree, and bash me with arguments and reasoning. Feel free to shoot from the hip and aim at the heart, anything goes really. I am absolutely convinced that I am right […]

In my previous post I gave away financial stats on The Big Three and The Big Four, showing their revenue, profit and R&D – for the company as a whole but also calculated relatively for each employee.
